Be
Strong in the Lord
Today's
Scripture
“Finally,
be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power” (Ephesians 6:10).
Today's
Word from Joel and Victoria
Everyone
has times when they feel weak or discouraged in life. But you don’t have to live
that way! You can be strong in the Lord and in His power. You don’t have to walk
around defeated and depressed. You can have joy today! In fact, the Bible tells
us that the joy of the Lord is our strength. God’s joy isn’t based on
circumstances. It isn’t based on the news, the stock market or the housing
economy. God’s joy is based on Him. When you think about what He’s done for
you—that He’s given you life, that He’s cast your sins as far as the east is
from the west—you can’t help but get happy! You can’t help but have joy inside
of you. That supernatural joy on the inside of you is supernatural strength. The
enemy can’t take away what God has given you deep on the inside. So put a smile
on your face today and rejoice in the Lord no matter what battles you may be
facing. The joy of the Lord will give you strength, and you’ll live the life of
victory God has promised you!
A
Prayer for Today
Heavenly
Father, thank You for joy which strengthens! Thank you for empowering me today
no matter what I may be facing. Fill my heart with Your supernatural joy so I
can stand strong in all things. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
